The length and width of a certain rectangle or field are both whole numbers find the mention of the field given it has an area of 966 m� and a perimeter of 134 m

Let length and width be L and W, respectively
Then, 2(L + W) = 134
2(L + W) = 2(67)
L + W = 67_____L = 67 - W -------- eq (i)
Also, W(67 - W) = 966

(W - 46)(W - 21) = 0
